Hello
I have been asked how I make digital collages.
I'm relatively new to it, so I'm no expert, but here I'll try to explain what I do.
I have a demo video where I make this digital scrapbook page:
You can view it here: https://youtu.be/IYT5km7vJ2Q
Here's what you will need:
1. Image editing software. Any program which allows you to place digital images in layers and switch the position of the layers.
2.. Some form of digital backgrounds (digital papers/digital images/patterns etc) and digital images.
3. Transparent background images and elements. These are usually png files.
* Transparent background images: these allow your character or focal element to sit directly on the background. Adding drop shadows with your editing software makes it look more realistic.
* Transparent background elements: these are what we would call embellishments in traditional paper crafting, such as ribbons, bows, flowers, gems, stitching, frames, stickers etc.
I would encourage you to have a play. Go visit some of the digital scrapbook shops - many have galleries, blogs and tutorials where you'll pick up lots of tips.
If you have other tips that I've missed, please leave them in the comments below.
Have fun!
